Although Xi Sheng likes to show off, she didn"t like to attract those buzzing bees. Just like the type of Secretary Liang whose mouth spoke nonstop.
"Young Master, how was your lunch? Did you eat healthy foods? How was your meeting with Heiress Yang?....."
Secretary Liang throw those questions endlessly and look at Xi Sheng with tantalizing starry eyes, hoping for an answer.
"You....shut up for a moment."
Too f.u.c.king noisy...
"Young Master! What"s happening to you? Are you feeling sick? Did you eat an unknown food? Young Master..."
Xi Anwei who didn"t mind being left out suddenly pulls out Secretary Liang"s collar and dragged him out. He always felt speechless whenever he witnesses his 360 degrees personality when he"s with Xi Sheng or whenever he saw "him."
Xi Anwei glance at Xi Sheng with his peripheral vision and saw that "he" left with annoyance.
"Looks like Ansheng really hates to be with a boring person especially a blabber-mouth, Secretary."
"What do you know?! Young "Master" once complimented my voice, so he liked it so much."
"Well, I guess that could change you know? He left with annoyance."
People can never be the same, they change as the days pa.s.sed by. That"s life.
Secretary Liang"...tsk. Why do I have to this with you."
Xi Anwei:"..." Do you think I want it too?
Xi Sheng perceived that scene where Secretary Liang and Xi Anwei together, can"t be deduced as a conspiracy but an upcoming disaster, especially to the company"s hardworking employees.
Later that night, she was called upon to attend a party with those high socialites, to gather intelligence about the upcoming "event."
The party was named, "Year end party of the upper echelon", although it seems tacky and lame at first but it is rather flaunting their t.i.tles to anyone who heard it.
Just like Xi Sheng, they weren"t here just for the party, the term party was just a decoy and the main purpose of this event is to gather information for the economy"s value next year. What industry should they invest to gain more profit or the stocks value would be higher or lower. In short, it was still all about money.
Unlike Xi Ansheng style of gathering information, Xi Sheng didn"t like pleasing or boot licking these arrogant socialites. Her style sides more in eating, sleeping then talking.
"Why do shameless things when you can do a ha.s.sle-free job?"
She stare someone in the eye and looked that person"s silhouette as her prey. The woman seems pretty powerful as other greet her and give her respected courtesy.
...
2 o"clock in the morning, West District.
Xi Sheng gapes at the satisfied naked woman beside her. She stood up her refreshed yet tired self.
The figures she acquired from her is enough to turned the tables with Xi Anwei"s prospect in destroying Xi Family but Xi Sheng is still not contented with the results, she still need sufficient evidences.
The fragment of this world or simply called consciousness is pretty powerful to remove her from her mission if she overstepped her boundaries. Fate can be a b.i.t.c.h sometimes. Failing the mission as well as being removed at the fragment is not unfamiliar to her, of course she once undergone it. The pain she felt can be described as being minced with your consciousness intact, her soul quivered and as if she would perish if another intensity will be added. It can be sum up with one word: torture.
Xi Sheng wore her clothes and even Pei Jiang helped her band her breast. There was nothing called awkwardness between them cause they both know that this "one night stand" is a business deal, no more no less.
Pei Jiang is a broker as well as an insider. She"s also the same species of Xi Sheng, who sleeps with women and flirts with men. Even Xi Sheng broke a sweat in making Pei Jiang submit to her. Pei Jiang"s approach may look like docile but her movements holds power, it was swift and precise.
Pei Jiang watched as Xi Sheng wore her suit, an evil sweat slides down from Xi Sheng"s neck up to her abdominal muscles up to her lower parts, it was simply too l.u.s.tful. Thankfully, she categorized Xi Sheng as one of her own kind and didn"t think much of that scene.
Pei Jiang:" Do you want me to send you home?" "If you are not afraid of a gossip tomorrow, that is."
Xi Sheng read her meaning:" No need, already called a service."
Pei Jiang went to her closet then accompany Xi Sheng in waiting the service while carrying a paper bag.
Xi Sheng look up and saw a cloudless starry sky.
Pei Jiang felt moved in seeing such a mind blowing scene:" The reason I chose to reside here is that of this scene. The night sky is like a calming pill to me, even if I experienced pain and unfairness, looking at this makes it feel worth it."
Countless stars are displayed at the cloudless and unpolluted sky. Cold breeze embraces their being while the noises of the insects are simply too calming.
Contrary to Pei Jiang"s opinion, Xi Sheng gazed at the sky feeling negative emotions like remorse, helplessness and defenselessness. She felt that the world was too big to grasp, and she was just an insignificant being. The stars look down in her like no one will feel sad when she suddenly pa.s.s away.
The sky resembles a s.a.d.i.s.tic Judge while Xi Sheng is a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic prisoner, ready to suffer negative emotions just to feel that she"s still a human, perfectly imperfect.
A car"s noise shattered their atmosphere and it change into a parting one. Xi Sheng glances at the car displeased for ruining her mood.
Xi Sheng exchanged pleasantries before setting off but Pei Jiang hold her back, she extends her and gave a Xi Sheng a paper bag with a known logo of a clothing line.
"This is a breast binder, its much healthier to use than a white cloth. Take it as a little gift from me."
Xi Sheng:" Well, I don"t have any gift to give but this card from our company. Show this to any employee, and they will give you their utmost priority."
The card is colored silver and its holders are VIPs of Xi Corporation, the card is hard to get especially if your connection and power is little.
Pei Jiang decreased their distance and whispered to her:" As a little reminder, Xi Anwei is a lunatic."
Her hot breath brushed to her face, her reminder wasn"t taken seriously but it embedded itself somewhere in Xi Sheng"s brain.
"I know. Xi Anwei obliterated the Xi Family after all. If he doesn"t have a loose screw, he wouldn"t bite the hands that fed him."
Their bodies" place was taken as kissing so the driver, reminded them of his presence.
Xi Sheng bid her goodbye and ride her service, she"s going to lecture this rude driver.
...
"Why are you my driver?"
Xi Sheng whose energy left her body was only able to squeeze this question.
A silence answered her until minutes pa.s.sed and no one answered her, so she decided to look at him only to witness Xi Anwei peek at her from time to time, specifically with neck and unb.u.t.toned shirt.
A sudden chill creeped out in Xi Sheng"s body hair.
Xi Sheng"..!" This b.a.s.t.a.r.d....isn"t thinking of murdering me just because he doesn"t have woman, right?
Xi Anwei saw Xi Sheng trembling, so he threw her a water bottle with a minimal heat on it.
Xi Sheng felt thirsty upon seeing the water but her vigilance towards Xi Anwei is high, so she checked the bottle if it was previously open. When the result show that it was brand-new, she drank it and ease her thirstiness
Xi Anwei:" The servants in the house are all asleep and since West District is close to my meeting place, I voluntered to fetch you."
Suspicions arise in Xi Sheng"s heart, why are you still negotiating at this hour?
Question after questions attacked Xi Sheng"s brain. But since the household know that Xi Anwei fetch Xi Sheng, it should be alright....right?
....
Their trip ended with suffocating air.
Xi Sheng left the car and walk straight to her room.
Her caution towards an enemy heighten her sense of survival so when she stepped to her room, any guard she put vanish from her tiredness.
She dived in her bed without changing clothes and forgetting to locked her door from a possible a.s.sailant, her mind plunged in the dreamland.
That night, Xi Sheng slept in deep slumber. Her state was unguarded and defenseless, unable to sense the interference of a shadow.
